What are the benefits of organic pumpkin, apple cider vinegar, and cinnamon? The presence of apple cider vinegar lowers the pH of the formula and can be very helpful in lowering the glycemic index. Slightly acidic foods offer better glycemic control and can also improve protein digestion and metabolism. Pumpkin is an exceptionally great source of carotenoids that can be used by the body as a form of vitamin A. Additionally, pumpkin is rich in potassium and vegetable fiber. This type of fiber is most beneficial to gut health. The formula was designed to provide both maximum nourishment and a high level of antioxidants. Cinnamon offers Liquid Hope Peptide Berry Medley additional polyphenols that have significant antioxidant value and it tastes great when combined with the other ingredients.
I love berries! Why wouldn’t I switch to this versus keeping my loved one on Liquid Hope Peptide? We love berries too but Liquid Hope Peptide Berry Medley may not be appropriate for all patients. You may want to use with caution or transition very slowly for patients with GI sensitive conditions such as severe or uncontrolled acid reflux and/or chronic diarrhea. Reflux: The acidic nature of berries may not be well tolerated. Rapid GI transit (diarrhea): While the product has no added sugar, berries naturally contain more sugar. The total sugar grams is slightly higher than Liquid Hope Peptide (7g versus 11g).
Why did you add Stevia? Is that really natural? Stevia is a plant-based natural sweetener. A 12oz pouch of Liquid Hope Peptide Berry Medley contains a very small amount in the product (stevia is the last ingredient by weight). For patients extremely sensitive to any sweeteners (natural or not), Liquid Hope Peptide is available and does not contain Stevia.
Are there seeds in Liquid Hope Peptide Berry Medley? Our Liquid Hope Peptide Berry Medley formula is free from seeds, we deseed the berries before they go into the formula.
Why doesn’t this formula have almond butter in it? Almond butter was not included in Liquid Hope Peptide Berry Medley so that it would be free of all 9 major allergens. The protein, carbohydrates, and fat almond butter was providing in our Liquid Hope products are now being contributed by other ingredients including berries and pumpkin for carbohydrates, pumpkin seed protein and hydrolyzed pea protein for protein and flax oil and extra virgin olive oil for fat.
